Get ready to riff with Jared on another Pop Culture Thursday direct from Delray Beach! Fueled by coffee and headlines, JTrain dives into the week’s juiciest Page Six stories, whether it’s Taylor Swift engagement gossip, Dancing with the Stars casting chaos, or the Kardashian parenting police. Expect tangents, playful cynicism, and a few “just ooze, baby” moments along the way. Jared also drops tour updates (Winnipeg, Tampa, and beyond!), plugs his Patreon diary, and of course, dishes on why Jennifer Aniston’s “optimism” isn’t really skincare. It’s your weekly brain-melt of laughs, hot takes, and headlines that sound way spicier than the actual news.

Jared welcomes chef/host/NYT bestseller Jake Cohen to Chit Chat Wednesday to talk all things dinner parties and his new book, Dinner Party Animal. They swap hosting secrets, from timelines and grocery lists to the “that-was-tonight?!” emergency menu (hello, baked gnocchi and roast chicken dreams). Jake makes the case for “friend-luck”: invite your favorites and require each to bring someone they love, creating a matchmaking community. They dig into why preorders matter, how to actually support an author, and why good food is the ultimate conversation lubricant. Plus, a cheeky detour into single-life adventures and a rapid-fire “Peaks & Pits” on barbecues, playlists, chips, and sides. Hit the link to preorder or snag the book, then be the dinner party person of your dreams!

Ticked Off Tuesday rolls in from Providence with listener gripes and a few of Jared’s own! We get sentimental over Lee Corso’s final mascot pick and call out the “even as a Badger fan…” homerism that followed. There’s a Marriott check-in limbo, complete with seven-minute lobby purgatory and vague updates. A three-hour Hozier marathon hijacks a salon visit, while a mid-flight pastor’s prayer request and whispery sauna gossip test everyone’s patience. Lighthearted rants, quick laughs, and a nudge to assemble the group chat for the next one!

Happy Labor Day! Dating feels like job hunting, virginity confessions in your late 20s, and rebound sex that won’t leave your head just another Monday with Jared on the JTrain. Between emails, Jared riffs on life from the road, comedy headaches, and whatever else sets him off that week. It’s equal parts advice, rants, and oversharing, the kind of stuff you’d gossip about over brunch. Hop aboard and keep the laughs (and the complaints) rolling.

This week’s Pop Culture Thursday is all about, who else? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! Jared, aka the JTrain, is sifting through every Page Six headline and serving up his signature mix of eye rolls, laughs, and oddly specific analogies (salsa discourse included). From private-but-not-really-private wedding rumors to engagement ring drama that’s allegedly “designed” by Travis, Jared calls out the hype while still giving the Swifties their due. Along the way, he plugs his Patreon, shames you into buying comedy tickets early, and reminds everyone that pop culture is a business, baby. Light, funny, and just a little noodge-y, this is your weekly dose of riffs, rants, and reality checks.

This week on The JTrain Podcast, Jared is joined by comedian Dan Soder for a classic Chit Chat Wednesday. They kick things off with laughs about body types, ranch dressing, and upcoming shows before diving into a wide-ranging conversation. Dan shares his fitness routine, stories from life on the road, and why he prefers hanging out with eager new comics over bitter old ones in the green room. The two swap food favorites, reminisce about their college days, and debate tipping etiquette for green room staff. They also get into comedy shop talk, from opener etiquette and overlapping material to how comedians should treat their audiences. To top it off, they imagine a hilarious comedy Supreme Court made up of the most influential comics. It is a fun, unfiltered hang between two sharp comics you will not want to miss!

Jared is back with another Ticked Off Tuesday, diving headfirst into life’s little annoyances like why bacon still isn’t packaged with a zip-top, gyms doubling as water bottle obstacle courses, and grocery store shoppers who treat the aisles like a family reunion. Along the way, he shares his undying love for Trader Joe’s peanut butter pretzel nuggets, vents about YouTube frustrations, and previews his upcoming tour stops. Listeners write in with their own hilarious complaints, from restaurants overloading delivery bags with cutlery to streaming services that make binge-watching way harder than it should be. It’s classic JTrain: funny, relatable, and just the right amount of petty!

Jared is back on the mic for another Mailbag Monday, bringing laughs straight from sunny Delray Beach. He recaps a dream weekend of shows in Denver, previews sold-out stops in Providence and Boston, and drops fresh tour dates all over the map. He delves into classic listener emails, covering the tricky world of post-breakup dating and even how to make new parent friends without it feeling like a suburban swingers' invitation. His advice is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, reminding listeners to set boundaries, keep things fun, and maybe plan a barbecue with cookies as the hook. As always, he signs off with plenty of plugs and just the right dose of feather-light wisdom.

In this week’s Pop Culture Thursday, Jared dives right into a mix of pop culture headlines, from Julia Fox’s confusing sexuality “clarification” to the oddly awkward obituary of TikTok star John Crawley, better known as “King Beard X.” He jokes about how embarrassing it would be if his own comedy nicknames showed up in his obituary. Things get wilder with a Hamptons story of a woman in her 50s allegedly biting a six-year-old during a t-shirt gun brawl—something Jared insists should mean jail time. He pokes fun at a headline calling Austin Butler “fearless” for shooing away a bee near Zoë Kravitz, and rolls his eyes at Jay Cutler airing divorce grievances online. To wrap it up, Jared defends the Coldplay kiss cam, insisting we can’t let cheaters ruin a fun tradition. It’s goofy, ranty, and oddly heartfelt all at once.

News during the height of the Kardashian era, and how Kris Jenner helped launch him into reality TV.
